Chapter 3
The doctor came back a few minutes later and told Wildwing that Mallory was ready to see him, and that the news of her pregnancy was a surprise to her too. Wildwing was glad that she had not known about the child she was carrying, finally able to place the origins of Mallory's frequent mood swings. He was also glad that he was going to have a child of his own with the women he loved. Her hurtful actions and terse words from this morning had all vanished in his mind as his excitement and joy washed over him like a refreshing, summer rain. He was looking forward to his future with Mallory and his child. He was not troubled by the reactions of the rest of the team, as they had seemed overjoyed at the prospect of having a new baby around the Pond and being able to play the roles of being influential aunts and uncles. Wildwing was surprised at Nosedive's excitement; he thought that the teenage drake would upset since he would not be the baby of the team anymore; and since Wildwing would not have many reasons to spoil him anymore since he would have a child of his own. But, he was wrong, Nosedive gave the exact opposite reaction, he was glad that he was going to be an uncle and was rambling on and on about what he would teach the new child, much to the dismay of the rest of the team. Wildwing was in awe of Nosedive's newfound maturity, and his heart was filled with pride at the thought of his baby brother's maturity. Wildwing had finally reached the door of Mallory's room; he took a deep breath to quell his nervousness, and knocked.
"Come in…" Wildwing heard Mallory's weak voice. He opened the door and stepped in, finding Mallory on a bed looking pale, but still smiling.
"Hi honey!"
"Hi babe, how are you feeling?" Wing queried with worry as he walked to the right side of Mallory's bed.
"I'm fine, at least I'm better than a few hours ago. I take it you heard the news." Mallory slipped her hand into Wildwing's.
Wildwing smiled a kissed her hand, "Yes I did, and I am very happy that we are going to have a baby together."
"I am too, especially because it's with the man I love." Mal squeezed his hand and they both smiled.
"So, we have a lot of planning to do in the seven months we have left," Wildwing said while taking a seat on Mallory's bed.
"Wing, I'm so sorry, I…"
"Mallory I don't want you to say another word about what happened this morning.All of that is in the past and forgiven, so let's work on our future, ok?"
"Alright."
"Now I am going to go and find you a good doctor as soon as I can, you deserve the best."
"Wing, wait a minute, can I ask you a favor?"
"Yeah, anything."
"Can you take me home as soon as possible? Hospitals give me the creeps."
Wildwing laughed at her comment, "The doctor said we could take you home whenever we wanted to, but I might leave you here overnight." Wildwing winked and got up, leaving her without saying another word.
"Hey, you better be kidding because if you're not, you're dead! Don't think I am going to forget that comment just because you're my child's father!" Mallory screamed.
About an hour later, Wildwing had decided not to leave Mallory at the hospital, and had taken her home. The team had left the hospital earlier on Wildwing's order; he wanted them to get some rest. His commands were useless however, as none of the team could sleep until they had seen Mallory and asked her the plethora of questions that had invaded their minds. When Wildwing came home with Mallory, he found the whole team in the Rec. Room talking.
"Hey what is this, a slumber party? Did no one even bother to invite me?" Mallory glared in annoyance from Wildwing's arms, Mallory had wanted to walk, but Wildwing had insisted that he carry her to wherever she wanted to go.
Tanya ran over to where Mallory was. "Wildwing I think you can put Mallory down now, she's pregnant, not handicapped."
Wing hesitated at first but then decide to avoid an argument and set Mallory down carefully on her feet.
Tanya hugged Mallory, "I'm so happy for you Mal, you're going to be a wonderful mom, I know you are."
"Thank you Tanya, that means a lot coming from you."
"You're quite welcome."
"Hey, I hate to break up this touching moment, but we want to congratulate her too Tanya, don't hog her." Nosedive placed his hands on his hips and glared at the other resident blonde. Tanya rolled her eyes and stepped aside, smiling at Nosedive despite her irritation.
"Mal-Mal, thanks for making my big bro happy and for being a great sis-in-law to me. I was beginning to wonder why you looked like you were putting on a few extra pounds!" Mallory playfully slapped Nosedive on the arm and shook her head at his insolence.
"Thanks Dive, that made me feel soooo much better about myself…" She crossed her arms while making her comments drip with sarcasm.
"Sweetheart, don't worry about what Nosedive says, we all still think you're beautiful." Duke said
"Thanks Duke, but don't call me sweetheart."
"Ok." Duke sighed; Mallory was still herself, despite her fluctuating hormones and a mass hugging session from her entire team.
"Congratulations Mallory, you are blessed with the great gift of a duckling." Grin smiled lightly from the other side of her.
"Thank you Grin, and I know, it is a wonderful blessing."
"Okay, I think this is enough for tonight, mommy here has gone through a long day, and I think we should call it a night." Wildwing spoke as he got a hold of Mallory's waist, his protective, paternal side shining through his actions.
They all agreed and headed for bed.

Three months later:
It was a quiet day at the Pond; everyone was out and doing their own thing. The two parents-to-be had went to a doctors appointment to find out the gender of their child, among other things. Over the last three months, Mallory had gotten rounder in the middle but she glowed with beauty. She had grown more understanding and just a little less irritable; the entire team was noticing the mental effects that her pregnancy was having on her. It had been two hours since Wildwing and Mallory had left and the team was eagerly waiting for them to get home. Finally, the door swooshed open and Mallory and Wildwing walked in.
"Finally, you two came home! So, what's the kid going to be?" Tanya asked, she could barely contain her excitement.
"Well," Mallory began, "Wildwing and I have decided not to tell you guys, you are just going to have to wait to find out!"
